Summary

"When Lila and her family leave Ireland for the United States in 1850, Lila misses many things, but especially Halloween. Each year, she and her siblings look forward to tricking a sly spirit named Jack by carving turnips into jack-o'-lanterns. Now, with no turnips in sight, she'll need to find different ways to bring the spirit of the holiday to her new home. Lila and the Jack-o'-Lantern tells the true story of how Irish immigrants brought Halloween to the United States -- and gave it the unique American twist we enjoy today" --, Dust jacket
